Just a Little Murder

Tabatha Wolstencroft

Submitted to Contest #301

Dear Parole Commissioners, I never meant to murder anyone. Well, I didn’t avoid it either, but Mr client murdered three guards, and that’s worse than my measly one, so it’s fine. Probably, right? Besides, if we toss the murdering aside, everything else had gone smoothly up until that point. For example, I showed off my talent for lock picking and masterfully opened the door to the main gallery. Of course, that door wasn’t actually locked, and I lied to him about it, but I’m justified because I got to show off my skills. I mean, skills I didn...

Submitted to Contest #23

There are very few things in my life that terrify me. One being this bizarre beeping noise I keep hearing. Another one happens to be mice. They’re small, fast, and they have very sharp teeth! The last thing that scares me is people who dare to put mushrooms on pizza. Experiencing one of these things sends a ripple effect and makes me think about the rest of the things that I don't like. Needless to say, I’m not going back to bed anytime soon. Restlessly I give into my running thoughts and move out of the coziness of my bed. Pulling blan...
